Brazil has announced a new partnership with the United States to enhance efforts to intercept weapons and drug trafficking across their shared borders. This comes as the country's President Lula's administration has seized an impressive 1,168 illicit arms imported from the US in the last year alone.
The announcement underscores Brazil's renewed commitment to tackling the flow of illegal firearms and narcotics that have long plagued the region. By collaborating with the US, the two nations hope to disrupt transnational criminal networks and curb the devastating impact of the drug trade and gun violence in their communities.
